Tuesday, that guard was Miranda Wammes of St. Joseph Central Catholic. Wammes dropped in three buckets off the dribble and was fouled three more times on her way to nine points in the first half in the Crimson Streaks’ 69-59 victory over Clyde.

“The way she attacks the basket and the way she sees the floor in transition is beautiful,” SJCC coach Mallory Holliday said. “She ran the offense we wanted to run as the coach on the floor.

“Her first look is always to attack and she did a great job. She does a great job finding open teammates.”

Wammes, who finished with 13 points, capped the Crimson Streaks’ first-half scoring with an assist to Adrienne Wehring for a 34-20 advantage. Wehring scored 20 points and Brooke Casperson 12.

“It’s always a battle,” Holliday said. “It’s always a big rivalry. A lot of the girls are friends. Clyde wasn’t going to give up. When Clyde put the pressure on, we let them take control.

“We have to keep control. We have to settle down and dictate tempo. Once we got our composure, we dictated the tempo we wanted to finish the game.”

Things were a bit more familiar for Clyde in the second half. Heidi Marshall missed all but the first and last possession of the second quarter sitting with her third foul.

Marshall scored her first bucket off a steal midway through the third quarter. She canned two free throws, stole the inbounds pass and scored while drawing Wammes’ fourth foul midway through the fourth.
